I watched this episode tonight because I wanted to see the performance of Elisa Ingram, a beautiful actress of the 1960's who only had a small number of credits. I wasn't entirely disappointed; she didn't have any dialogue, but she looked great in a swimsuit as a member of an Eastern European swim team!

When this series first aired, I would watch it with my Dad, who was fond of it. The humor is very broad, and tonight I was trying to figure out: what was the appeal of the series? It dawned on me that this show is very much like an issue of the old Mad magazine, come to life. The emphasis is on puns, visual humor, and producing some mild chuckles. Episodes often featured a pretty guest actress, such as Elisa Ingram. The show wasn't grounded in reality at all; it was entirely a spoof. If you come to it expecting no more than that, it's entertaining. It probably helped the series to last so long--5 seasons!--that there weren't a lot of other shows like it; and it was probably very inexpensive to make. I rate this episode as typical for the series--mildly enjoyable.
